Bacolod mayor: We must suspend celebrations for health, safety reasons

SunStar + February 12, 2021 “IT WAS with mixed feelings when I issued the executive order (EO) suspending the public celebration of the Bacolaodiat Festival for 2021,” Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia said. Leonardia said in a statement that when he founded the Bacolod version of the Chinese New Year in 2006, it was meant to honor and manifest the assimilation of the Chinese culture due to the enriching presence of the Filipino-Chinese community in Bacolod. “It was also conceptualized to become a major tourist attraction and through the years we saw how our people embraced and supported this annual event, making it grow by leaps and bounds beyond our initial expectations, he said.

Bacolod a priority in vaccine distribution, Galvez reiterates

SunStar + February 05, 2021 SECRETARY Carlito Galvez Jr., Malacañang’s vaccine czar, once again assured that Bacolod City is one of the priority cities of the national government in the vaccine distribution. “Don’t worry because Bacolod City is our priority after Cebu City and afterward, Iloilo City,” Galvez told the virtual special general assembly of the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), led by Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia as national president, Thursday, February 4. “All the highly urbanized cities (HUCs) are priorities; we will not leave anyone behind,” Galvez added. In November 2020, Galvez, who is also the chief implementer of the National Task Force Against Covid-19, had informed Leonardia via text message that Bacolod is among the local government units (LGUs) in the country poised to first receive the Covid-19 vaccine in case the national government gets a hold of its supply.
